about

Performed at Clifftop 2019

lyrics

When the Alabama's keel was laid
Roll Alabama roll
She was laid in the yard of Johnathan laird
Oh roll Alabama roll

She was laid in the yard of Johnathan laird
Roll Alabama roll
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh roll Alabama roll

From the western isle she sailed north
Roll, Alabama, Roll
to disrupt the commerce of the north
Oh, Roll, Alabama, Roll

many a sailor met his doom
Roll Alabama roll
when the yankee ship rolled into view
oh, roll Alabama roll

Off the three mile limit in ‘64
roll Alabama roll
The Alabama sunk to the ocean floor
Oh roll, Alabama roll
